Tech Xplore / Anode-free battery can double electric vehicle driving range
Could an electric vehicle travel from Seoul to Busan and back on a single charge? Could drivers stop worrying about battery performance even in winter? A Korean research team has taken a major step toward answering these ...
Phys.org / Promising new superconducting material discovered with the help of AI
Tohoku University and Fujitsu Limited have successfully used AI to derive new insights into the superconductivity mechanism of a new superconducting material.
Tech Xplore / For computational devices, talk isn't cheap: Research reveals unavoidable energy costs across all communication channels
Every task we perform on a computer—whether number crunching, watching a video, or typing out an article—requires different components of the machine to interact with one another. "Communication is massively crucial for ...
Phys.org / Ultrafast fluorescence pulse technique enables imaging of individual trapped atoms
Researchers at the ArQuS Laboratory of the University of Trieste (Italy) and the National Institute of Optics of the Italian National Research Council (CNR-INO) have achieved the first imaging of individual trapped cold atoms ...
Phys.org / What 38 million obituaries reveal about how Americans define a 'life well lived'
Obituaries preserve what families most want remembered about the people they cherish most. Across time, they also reveal the values each era chose to honor.
Tech Xplore / Lowering barriers to explainable AI: Control technique for LLMs reduces resource demands by over 90%
Large language models (LLMs) such as GPT and Llama are driving exceptional innovations in AI, but research aimed at improving their explainability and reliability is constrained by massive resource requirements for examining ...
Phys.org / Rare Hall effect reveals design pathways for advanced spintronic materials
Scientists at Ames National Laboratory, in collaboration with Indranil Das's group at the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (India), have found a surprising electronic feature in transitional metal-based compounds that could ...
Phys.org / Stripe patterns in blood cells offer new clues for diagnosing disorders and understanding natural designs
Stripe patterns are commonly seen in nature—for instance, birds and fish move in coordinated flocks and schools, fingerprints form unique designs, and zebras can be identified by their distinctive stripes.
Phys.org / Journey to the center of a quantized vortex: How microscopic mutual friction governs superfluid dissipation
Step inside the strange world of a superfluid, a liquid that can flow endlessly without friction, defying the common-sense rules we experience every day, where water pours, syrup sticks and coffee swirls and slows under the ...
Phys.org / Robotic system synthesizes hundreds of metal complexes to find potential new antibiotic
Researchers have used a cutting-edge robotic system capable of synthesizing hundreds of metal complexes to develop a possible antibiotic candidate—offering fresh hope in the global fight against drug-resistant infections.
Phys.org / West Antarctica's history of rapid melting foretells sudden shifts in continent's 'catastrophic' geology
Due to its thick, vast ice sheet, Antarctica appears to be a single, continuous landmass centered over the South Pole and spanning both hemispheres of the globe. The Western Hemisphere sector of the ice sheet is shaped like ...
Phys.org / Ancient pottery workshop reveals Iron Age production chain
Ceramics are one of the most important sources of information for archaeologists. Yet how these objects are produced, especially in the firing stage, has received little attention to date. The excavation of a well-preserved ...
